My property actually sits on Napoopoo Road and Makahiki Lane. Ive had 3 accidents. One hit the end of a rock wall. One went airborne into my property and another one took out the utility poles and all the water (inaudible). This is in a 20 mile posted speed limit. This is possibly one of the worst designs Ive seen on a really dangerous road is to increase the density by going Rural. And this particular developer that owns the property will certainly do that. Thank you very much. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Any questions for our testifier? Appreciate your testimony, you may be seated. Margaret? WILLE:Yes. Margaret Wille. 65-1316 Lihipali Road, Kamuela. And Im not going to repeat last, Hilo hearings I spoke about the need to retain the County mandate to construct the connector road mini-bypass in Waimea. Following my testimony Director Yuen made a comment that sort of prompted me to think about returning and that had to do with the maps and the importance of if there might be a request for funding for a road that its important to have that road on the General Plan maps. And maybe could you put on F-5 map on the- possibly? ALAMEDA:Sure. WILLE:If you dont mind. This road that is currently, theres $400,000 being spent on a environmental assessment. And it was on the CIP list for 05/06 is off the map. And when I asked Director Yuen about the, in a phone conversation, he said that really wasntintentional trying to omit it and I did not bring this up at the last meeting. But since he indicated that it is important to have-. If you look at, in the materials that I gave out, just theplans showing the map, showing the location. So, its hard to look at that plan but this road is not on that map. And consistent with the text if you retain the text here its even a specific course of action for consistency and just in terms of the possibility of additional funding I would ask that this be included on that map and the larger map that these are sections of. I did want to make a couple points but very short. Just in terms on notice on these different amendments I know theres a provision in the General Plan for if a particular party wants the Director to include a, its on page 337 of the General Plan, how they go about making a specific request and which requires that they explain why and they pay a fee. And it would help to do that, I just encourage in doing that type of process where that other developer or in this case Parker Ranch made a specific request and our community-. I just happened to bump into that this was in here so that the communities that are affectedcould more readilyfind out that something is going on. And really (inaudible). Currently on this connector road one of the big issues is really to what extent the County is now going to require Parker Ranch to comply with its road concurrency requirement. And I appreciated your discussion earlier today about Seascape because I feel like a discussion like that had gone on in 1996 the community, Waimea, would not be in the position its in right now where originally Parker Ranch was to put in the entire portion of its connector road. It then came in and asked for an accommodation to only do that in incremental phases. Not one inch of this road has been put in. They have now sold parcels along that who are now coming in objecting to the road. And Director Yuen now has before him their request to further eliminate what is in that ordinance. So, I wish you would have had that discussionherebeforeyouallwhatsgoingon,onthissoyouseewhathappensaftertheaftereffect.Justa last thing I included, so I included my, a letter I wrote to the Mayor on this, that issue. And I also just as backgroundforBobHuntersdiscussiononprotectingthepuusputinabackgroundmemooftheLand Conservation sub-committee and our work in trying to get the community to work on that proposal.
